Default Creepy folder in my C: drive

I was bored and decided to go through my computer's folders. I clicked on the C:>WINDOWS> and inside of WINDOWS, there is a random folder titled "December 2012." Inside of the folder is only the option to uninstall. At the bottom there are two text documents related to the folder.

I have no idea where the folder came from and I don't know why it's even there. Anyone have any idea?

(The stupid image won't upload.)

It sounds funny but I figured it would make an interesting point to talk about. My friend told me not to uninstall it because it would end the world. Fun stuff.

How are we supposed to guess that? You provide absolutely no information about circumstances surrounding this.

There are no circumstances really. The folder was made on July 4th, 2008. Yay for properties. It just seemed odd that I found it like 8 months later. So it's not something that JUST happened to show up recently.

Lol. I want to but first I want to find out what it is. In the two notepad documents there is random writing. *copy paste*

[07/04/2008 02:08:22] Success File added to uninstall list: C:\Program Files\December 2012\Files\entitybank\ww2\items\small_health_1.bin
[07/04/2008 02:08:22] Success Install archive file: C:\Program Files\December 2012\Files\entitybank\ww2\items\small_health_1.dbo
[07/04/2008 02:08:22] Success File added to uninstall list: C:\Program Files\December 2012\Files\entitybank\ww2\items\small_health_1.dbo
[07/04/2008 02:08:22] Success Install archive file: C:\Program Files\December 2012\Files\entitybank\ww2\items\torch.bin
[07/04/2008 02:08:23] Success File added to uninstall list: C:\Program Files\December 2012\Files\entitybank\ww2\items\torch.bin
[07/04/2008 02:08:23] Success Install archive file: C:\Program Files\December 2012\Files\entitybank\ww2\

That's just a tiny portion of whatever is written. It almost seems like a program ready to delete a bunch of stuff.

Very helpful input. That text was copied from a notepad document titled, "December 2012 Uninstall Log." I have no idea what it is or what program might have put it on my computer.

If that's the case, it might be a virus that's set to execute sometime around December 2012. I would probably just delete the folder and its contents then.

The notepad documents aren't .exe files. So I'm not sure if that's even possible. They're logs of something that already happened I guess. I'm searching around for something that can explain its existence.



Hmm. Searched the properties of the uninstall program. "Indigo Rose Corporation." I wonder if wikipedia has anything to say so I don't have to click a link on google. *checks*

I actually thought of that since the only friend that uses my computer would be my best friend. But neither of us know how to make a program that we could potentially uninstall. And the properties says it comes from some site called 'indigo rose'

Well you said you had an option to uninstall so i thought there was an uninstall.exe with your notepad files.

The notepad documents aren't in the folder. Inside of the folder is an uninstall option. Umm, I googled the company and it says something along the lines of software installation and deployment. I think it is some sort of spyware that hasn't actually done anything. AVG doesn't find anything wrong with the folder. No idea what to do with it.

Positive? How would I know if there was something attached to it? >.>'

I actually tried uninstalling it and now it says, "Invalid start mode: archive filename."

Oh well. I just deleted the file completely. Hope that solves it. If the world collapses, don't blame me. =] What a fun way to start the morning.
